Abstract

For the greatest functional outcome, hand reconstruction with soft tissue abnormalities requires an early, single-stage, well-vascularized cover. Since important tissues including tendons, bones, and joints are exposed, a full thickness graft is typically needed, and subsequent repair is frequently necessary. Reverse flow flaps in the posterior interosseous artery provide a flexible and dependable means of covering intricate soft tissue abnormalities in the hand in full thickness.
